研究目的
To investigate the impact of interface trap effects on the electrical characteristics, specifically the ON-state resistance (RON), of a 4H-SiC MOSFET designed for low voltage applications using numerical simulations.
研究成果
The numerical simulations demonstrate that interface trap effects significantly increase the ON-state resistance (RON) of 4H-SiC MOSFETs, especially at lower gate voltages and room temperature, with variations up to 40%. At higher temperatures, the impact is reduced. This highlights the importance of considering interface defects in the design of low-voltage SiC power devices to optimize performance.
研究不足
The study is based on numerical simulations and does not include experimental validation. The defect state parameters are assumed from literature, which may not fully capture real-world variations. The simulations are limited to specific temperature and voltage ranges, and the impact of other device parameters or manufacturing variations is not explored.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses numerical simulations with the Silvaco-ATLAS physical simulator to model the MOSFET, incorporating defect state distributions at the SiO2/SiC interface. The simulations solve Poisson's equation and carrier continuity equations with a fine mesh.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The device is a 4H-SiC MOSFET with specified geometrical parameters and doping concentrations, as detailed in Table 1 of the paper. No physical samples are used; all data is simulation-based.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The primary equipment is the Silvaco-ATLAS simulator. Materials include the modeled 4H-SiC semiconductor and SiO2 oxide layer.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Simulations are performed at room temperature (300 K) and 473 K, with varying gate-source voltages (VGS) and drain-source voltages (VDS). Defect states are modeled using density of states (DoS) parameters from literature.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Results are analyzed to extract current-voltage characteristics and RON values, with comparisons between simulations with and without trap effects. Percentage variations in RON are calculated.
